Im using one of my friend’s computers at this bar, Casa dos Dois. This is what they call a man’s second home here, not sure if it is a joke name or not.
Everything is going well. Portuguese is coming along and everything else is fine. That is my only problem not being able to communicate very well. But it is not bothering me. I try to study as much as possible. But I am just not that good at remembering words or grammar.
Random highlights and stuff over the last couple weeks
Lighting and rain storms and pretty cool. They light the sky up pretty good
Crazy changes in temperature. It went from like 90’s to 40’s in two days. And the mud is insane. It gets dark early here too.
We rode chapas, the taxis here, they are packed really tight. So travels will be interesting here
I take my ukulele al over and everyone loves it. Lots of kids following me playing the Air Uku.
My friend and neighbor Ali got her shoes stolen last night.
O and we all cooked with our mom’s last night in our language groups. It was fun and crazy. Playing random games and singing kids songs. Well that is good for now. Peace and do good things everyone!
Love Jimmy
